Is The Bar This Low?
John McCain wrote an op-ed where he praised Obama’s speech and called Obama patriotic. Apparently, this is news.
Shameless Stealing
This post by Greg Sargent is the funniest thing I’ve read all week. How much longer will the rest of the world callously turn a blind eye to the epic suffering being endured by America’s persecuted minority of conservative personalities with millions of dollars and worshipful national followings?
Vote!
Twitter points us to a fun little survey at Chris Cillizza’s The Fix, a fantasy political draft. Cillizza is asking what current politician is a future star. Our very own governor, Jack Markell, is one of the choices. You may now return to your regularly scheduled blogging.
E.J. Dionne: Find Your Inner Reagan

They had some suggestions for beer choices, including a beer called Mad Bitch for Hillary Clinton. The video has now been removed from their website, after complaints. Of course, it lives […]
WaPo Sells Access
Big story broken by Politico today. The Washington Post is offering lobbyists access to the powerful (for a small fee, of course): For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post is offering lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to “those powerful few” — Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and the paper’s own reporters and […]
